Colorist Society International welcomes Divergent Media as the newest corporate sponsor. CEO and Founder Michael Woodworth said, “I believe in the cause of CSI, and am pleased that Divergent Media can help support the members and the color community.”

Divergent Media is an independent software company focused on providing flexible tools for monitoring, quality assurance, and acquisition for the video production industry.

Colorist Society International has a new look, and the re-designed website is now live.

CSI improved the look and feel of the website to better reflect the relevancy of the colorist within the motion picture and television industry. The photos and movie posters featured on the site are the work of our member colorists and DITs.

Your name AND photo are now featured on the CSI Roster. Full Members should log into their accounts and update their profile by uploading a 300x300 photo.

Over 300 colorists, filmmakers, and industry executives celebrated the 5th annual Mixer high atop Las Vegas on the 108th floor of the Stratosphere Tower.

If you missed out this year and could not attend take heart. Plans are already underway for next year’s Mixer In the Meantime, be sure to make plans to attend the Colorist Mixer at IBC in Amsterdam in September.

Warren Eagles, CSI, set out to answer the question every producer inevitably asks their colorist: how long will it take to grade this?

“Obviously, every TVC, movie or music video is different, so a rough guide is the best you can offer your client without seeing the footage. These examples are based on average budget projects. Hollywood movies and big TVCs will always take longer.”

NAB 2017 Roundup

Your Colorist Society had a strong presence at this year’s NAB in Las Vegas.

CSI organized a number of events including, CSI Tours on the convention floor in which the Friends of CSI gave members a personalized tour showcase new products.

Additionally, CSI co-founder Kevin Shaw held a daily informative presentation at the Dolby booth on ‘Mastering in HDR.’ CSI co-founder Jim Wicks was invited to speak on a panel hosted by AbelCine on ‘Understanding ACES.’

CSI was also the invited guest of Grant Petty at Blackmagic Design announcing DaVinci Resolve 14 to the world’s press as well as the other great new products.
